SEX ABUSE SCANDAL
ROCKS AIR FORCE
Lt. Col Jeffrey, the Air Force’s chief of sexual
assault prevention, was arrested for sexual
assault and removed from his position pending
an investigation. The arrest came two days
before a Defense Department report revealed
that about 70 sexual assaults involving military
members took place every day in 2012.
BANGLADESH DEATH TOLL
REACHES STAGGERING HEIGHTS
The death toll topped 900 this week from the collapse of
a building containing five garment factories in Bangladesh.
More than 2,500 people have been rescued alive in the
worst disaster ever to hit the garment sector. As the recovery
operation continues, survivors protested to receive at least
four months’ worth of salary — a government administrator
said a deal had been reached. Authorities have agreed to a
plan to improve working conditions for the country.
MIRACLE FOR
CLEVELAND WOMEN
Three women from Cleveland who
disappeared separately a decade ago were
all found together this week, shocking
relatives and friends. The women, Amanda
Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight,
appeared to be in good health, police said.
In a frantic 911 call on Monday, Berry told
a dispatcher, “I’ve been kidnapped, and
I’ve been missing for 10 years. And I’m here. I’m free now.” Three men — one who owned
the house where the women were found, and his two brothers — were arrested in the case.
Knight had been missing since 2002, Berry since 2003, and DeJesus since 2004.
